Presentations in Language Arts

This week, 6th grade finished their work on a pmahplet designed to advertise their version of a “Utopia” or perfect society. They had some great ideas! Everything from a world made of cheese to a wizard that could turn citizens into cats! The imagination was on full display as they presented them to the class. 

7th and 8th grade began their journey into Greek mythology by studying the creation myth according to the ancient Greeks and then creating one of their own. They were tasked with writing a short story to explain something as large as the creation of the universe or as small as the creation of a body of water. They had some fascinating takes on creation myths and have set themselves up well to dive even deeper into the wide, weird word of Greek mythology in the coming weeks.
